*** providing that the translated text is qualitative and it does not require the verification of more than 25% of the whole text.

The average scope of work performed by one translator during one working day shall be 8 pages. The achievement of high rates of production combined with a continuous quality control shall require the formation of a task force involved in translation and editing. In this case, the Customer shall be aware that excessively high rates of production will inevitably affect the quality of the translation product.

Notes:

1) The cost of the above Services may increase by 30 to 50%, subject to the complexity of the text (dedicated texts, hard-to-read (e.g. hand-written) incoming documents, labor-intensive incoming texts (e.g. Power Point)).

2) If the text of translation is required to be formatted similar to the incoming original, makeup rates shall be applied (see ‘Collateral Services’).

3) Makeup and editing shall envisage submitting materials by the Customer in electronic form. Lack of such materials may be grounds for an increase in the cost of the rendered Services by 20 to 30%. Editing of third-party translations shall envisage a good-quality level of the translated delivered for editing. Should the quality of a translation be such that, in the opinion of the Translation Bureau’s editorial group, it shall be more efficient to translate the text all over again, it shall be suggested that the Customer either revoke the placement of order or order the translation of such text.

4) In case of placement of a single order of 300 or more pages, a 10% discount shall be given. In case of placement of a single order of 700 or more pages, the amount of the discount shall be established by mutual consent of the Translation Bureau and the Customer.

5) No discounts shall be applied if an order is subject to any extra charges relating to urgency and/or complexity.
